RIOT POLICE DETAINS 2 UCP MEMBERS

On 6 April the Chain of Concerned People took place in Minsk. It was devoted to the 4th anniversary of the death of Henadz Karpenka, vice-speaker of the Supreme Soviet of the 13th convocation. Karpenka died four years ago in uncertain circumstances.
Riot squad officers detained Siarhei Lapusta and Andrei Kozel, members of the United Civic Party for distribution of leaflets with information about Henadz Karpenka.
The colleagues honored the memory of Karpenka under a cloud of another occurrence. The day before strangers beat the younger brother of Henadz Karpenka in Pawdniovy Zakhad district of Minsk. According to him, the malefactors acted boldly and professionally. They did not take anything, so the appropriate bodies can exclude robbery from their versions. Alexander Karpenka believes, the attack on him was directly linked to the name of his brother, who he had last met three hours before he had a stroke, as it was reported later. According to the younger Karpenka, his brother felt well that day, and nothing presaged his near death.
